Can you point me to CDs with awesome stage?


Last mounth I bought the West German recorded, Spiegel edition of Roger Waters, Amused To Death CD. It blew my mind. Yes, I love the Music, but that's not what I'm talking about. The stage I'm getting from my two stereo speakers is out of this world, better than I've ever heard before stage. It goes yards deep,ten feet to the outside,and most of all,by my side,in my lap, behind my head,and around and around my room stage. I know it's all in how it was recorded. Maybe not so Stereophile perfect, but I dont care. I want more. Give me your best of the best recorded sound stage CDs.

Good call on the QSound discs for awesome staging! I looked at their list of supported albums and the only one on the list I owned is Madona's Immaculate Collection (don't ask). Plopped it into the CDP and WOW, it has incredibly wide & deep sound staging. I'm not that familiar with the original releases on this compilation (really, I'm not), so I can't comment on what it does to the SQ. But it sounds like Madona to me - highly stylized and overly processed - now with wall to wall and ceiling to floor sound. I say give Qsound a try. It's a fun alternative to "normal" stereo - kind of a poor mans multichannel.

On a personal note, I had great fun dancing with my girls in the immerse pulsating ear buzzing sound stage music. YMMV :)
